Hmm, what does grub have to do with anything here?

I don't think the problem with intel is just colors.  I get a dead screen.  I 
could be wrong, but given that the patch is offered by someone with an 
@intel.com email address and that it was considered the correct fix for i915 
users after a lengthy launchpad discussion (which, regretfully, I lost the URL 
to), I think this patch deserves some attention.
